The Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor boxing match was billed as one of the biggest sporting events of 2017. In the weeks leading up to the fight, the two athletes took part in press conferences around the world to promote their monumental exhibition.

On July 12, the duo participated in a lively press conference at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

Mayweather and McGregor both took to our SN3080 Contemporary Alumacrylic Lectern to address the media and their legion of fans and made their case for why they expected to win the upcoming match.

Both men promised a knockout, claims that would be hard to uphold.

Mayweather, the defensive specialist, hasn’t managed a KO in his last seven fights, and McGregor, the MMA fighter who can’t kick or wrestle in the bout was working without a majority of his arsenal in the boxing match.

While Mayweather eventually emerged victorious with McGregor succumbing in the 10th round during the August 26 fight, there is no denying that both athletes look equally sharp speaking behind the sleek and modern Contemporary Alumacrylic Lectern.

When emergencies arise in schools and other crowded areas, the first priority of administrators is to quickly move students and staff to places of safety. Whether the emergency is related to accidents, natural causes, or violence, panic and confusion greatly increases the risk of casualties.

When public safety is on the line, it is vital that school leadership, security staff, and other first responders have the ability to clearly communicate with large groups of people on a moment’s notice.

All too often, emergency situations create obstacles to communication – power may be cut off, access routes may be blocked, isolated response teams may be operating with inaccurate information, or teams may have difficulty getting instructions to large groups of frightened people.

In establishing disaster preparedness plans, school emergency personnel should have equipment ready to go, ensuring that communication remains available despite the obstacles.

Today’s systems come in a wide variety of models to serve different functions, but one central purpose is common to all: providing reliable, grab-and-go communication to calm, direct, and inform large groups of people in times of crisis.

Consider how form follows function to fit the needs of your response requirements:

Multiple speakers can be set up in seconds in locations up to a mile apart, allowing for the broadest communication coverage from a single command center.

AmpliVox Sound Systems developed its Radio Hailer system for private security applications for the investment firm Goldman Sachs, allowing management to coordinate safety communication from multiple locations around its New York City and Jersey City offices.

The same affordable, easy-to-use technology can be put to use on school campuses for swift, effective responses.

Megaphones pack a great deal of versatility and power into compact, portable units.

These easy-to-use sound systems are ready for action when needed, even under harsh conditions.

Today’s best megaphones use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to reduce weight and provide long-lasting charges, whether in use or on the shelf.

They can deliver voice coverage up to a mile, and also grab attention with on-board horn or siren functions. For added safety and visibility, consider a megaphone that includes an integrated strobe signal light signal.

While Paramount Pictures' 2017 film Baywatch undoubtedly emphasizes all that there is to see on the vibrant beaches of Emerald Bay, Florida, the film also reinforces the importance of being heard.

In the film, lifeguards Mitch Buchannon (played by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson) and CJ Parker (played by Kelly Rorhbach) patrol the waters with our S601 Mity-Meg Megaphone, which helps ensure the safety of area beachgoers by providing clear communication despite the noise from crashing waves, nearby speed boats, and bustling beach life.
Weighing just two pounds, our Mity-Meg Megaphone is easy to take with you, whether you are on foot – or driving a jet ski.
